The lunar and solar eclipse 1963?

Answer 1

There are generally two solar eclipses and two lunar eclipses each year. Some years we'll see two partial eclipses in place of one total eclipse.

The year 1963 looks like it was pretty typical. There was one annular solar eclipse, on January 25, 1963, and one total solar eclipse on July 20, 1963. The total eclipse was visible from the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido, across the Bering Sea to Alaska, across northern and central Canada and ending in central Maine at Bar Harbor.

There were three lunar eclipses; one partial, one penumbral, and one total. The penumbral eclipse was on January 6, 1963, and the partial eclipse was on July 6. The total lunar eclipse was on December 30, 1963, and was visible in eastern Asia and Australia, Japan, and most of North America.

Did you notice that there was always 2 weeks between a solar and a lunar eclipse? It always happens that way. If there was a total solar eclipse, then there is always a partial or penumbral lunar eclipse 2 weeks earlier or 2 weeks later. If there is a total lunar eclipse, there's a partial solar eclipse 2 weeks earlier or later.

Answer 2

In 1963, there were several lunar and solar eclipses. The lunar eclipses occurred on April 25th and October 18th, visible from various parts of the world. The solar eclipses took place on May 9th and November 2nd, and were visible in different regions as well.
